The present study
examines the type of barrel-shaped vessels as an element of cultural contacts
in Western Anatolia, and specifically in the area of Canakkale and the
settlements of Koumasa and Levina in southern Crete. The contact between these
two areas can be ascertained from the Neolithic period onwards, based on many
new elements of material culture in Crete and northwestern Turkey, which
testify to this contact. The vessels, which have been characterized as
barrel-shaped because of their characteristic shape, are found in the Neolithic
era from Central Europe to the Levant. According to analyses made on this
pottery, and based on ethnoarchaeological research, it is possible that they
could be used as vessels for processing dairy products, either as imitations of
such vessels made of other material, e.g. sacks of sheep and goat skins, or
even as utensils symbolically of a cultural carrier. In the areas to be
examined, there seems to be diffusion of this type in northwestern Anatolia and
Crete during the Modern Bronze Age.
